I had to make an emergency visit to the orthodontist yesterday. The girl-child's HERBST appliance came loose (she swallowed the screw) so we had to get it fixed. The ortho has 2 offices, one in Hendersonville and one in Columbus. We generally go to the Columbus office because it's about 30 minutes closer to home. Well, of course, the Columbus office was closed yesterday. Not only that, they were having continuing education day so they weren't really even open. Fortunately, they were able to see us and fix it. They also went ahead and did new wires that was supposed to happen Tuesday. Nothing like a spontaneous trip to Hendersonville on a Thursday afternoon.

It's looking like I'm not going to be going to China with my friend unless she doesn't go until July or a miracle occurs. Paperwork is delayed again. I'm disappointed, but my prayer has been that however this works out is the best for my friend and not me - even though I still really want to go. So, provided my June is the norm, then the first week is open, VBS is the second week, Andrew goes to camp the third week, and the family mission trip is the fourth week. Oh, and most likely a road trip for a wedding.
